"We are so grateful for Rad Adventures.  My ten-year-old has mountain  biked with family and friends for years and enjoyed himself, but after one session with Rad Adventures his abilities and enthusiasm went absolutely through the roof. The instructors are so full of positive energy, tips/tricks, and motivation --- and so honestly stoked  to be out there with the kids.  My son looks forward to class every  week, and the parents look forward to him coming home so absolutely  pumped about mountain biking.   Rad Adventures is the best!"

Kristin Gail Schnelten, Thornbury

“Hi, just wanted to thank you for accommodating us last minute. It was an excellent experience with Suzy who knew exactly how to handle Jaime who was a little anxious and reluctant. Both kids are very excited to hit the trails. She was superb! Have a great rest of season.”

Gaye Lefrevbre, Oakville


"Finally! A mountain bike program close to home. My daughter loved  getting out with  RAD adventures each week. It was great peace  of mind knowing she was in good hands and not only learning the trails  and rider safety...but also trail etiquette! Way to go guys. Awesome  program. Highly recommended."
